We’d like to thank Mount Saint Charles Hockey Academy, Providence College, and Brown University for their great hospitality and cooperation to allow us to bring an event of this national caliber to the Ocean State.
*Our host hotel is the Providence Marriott — participating teams should work with our travel coordinator, Jim McGuire, to receive our tournament rate and benefits.
“We are truly excited to be able to host an event of this stature here in Rhode Island. We have been working on this for a couple of years so we are very happy it is coming to fruition. Our goal was to keep it small and targeted to elite organizations, run by good people we know and trust. To be able to have teams of this level, from all over the United States here in the Ocean State is awesome. We are proud to work with our partners at Mount Saint Charles, Providence College, and Brown University to make this happen.”
